The advantages of learning a foreign language.

学习一门外语的优势

You improve your English

你的母语也会更棒

Learning a foreign language draws your focus to the mechanics of language: grammar, conjugations, and sentence structure.

学习外语会将你的注意力集中在语言结构本身：语法，词形变化和句子结构。

This makes you more aware of language, and the waysit can be structured and manipulated. These skills can make you a more effective communicator and a sharper editor and writer.

这会增强你的语言意识，以及组织和操纵语言的能力。这些技能会让你成为一个更有效的沟通者，更犀利的编辑和作家。

Language speakers also develop a better ear for listening, since they're skilled at distinguishing meaning from discreet sounds.

语言学习者在这一过程中也成为更好的倾听者，因为他们擅长于通过严谨的发言来区别不同的意思。
